fill in the blank friday.

First off…Have you read the “When I was Little” series over at The Adventures of Rose Red? If not you should. They’re so adorable and it’s fun to see bloggers in all their childhood glory – such a great idea Kellie! AND…my “when I was Little” list has just been posted today :). Here’s a little sneak peek at some childhood photos, but if you want to read my list feel free to check it out here.

So…when I first started doing “Fill in the Blank Fridays” here at my blog I thought it would just be a one time thing, and for the simple reason that I couldn’t think of more than seven blanks, that became the “magic number” of blanks you’ve all been filling out each week.

Well…since I didn’t do this Friday post last week because of our impromptu road trip I decided to make it up to you by including three bonus questions this week, for a grand total of 10 questions :). If you want to play along and fill in your own blanks, please do, and then link back here using the MckLinky below so that we can all read your answers. Now for some blanks! Oh…and P.S. The giraffe in the photo below was one I kissed at a giraffe orphanage in Kenya. Isn’t she cute?

1. The strangest thing I’ve ever eaten wasat a restaurant in Kenya called Carnivore…all you can eat meat. I tried ostrich meatballs, goat and crocodile. The goat was pretty tasty.

2. My best friend isthe greatest. He’s funny and sweet and pretty darn cute. Oh yeah…and by the way Craig…it’s you 🙂.

3. If I could live in a different era it would bethe 1950’sbecause I really like the idea of cooking in heels and pearls, plus I feel like things were probably simpler then…not perfect, but simpler .

4. I like when people practice random acts of kindness. It makes the world a happier place to .

5. If you only know one thing about me it should be that I love Jesus. I’m not perfect in my faith…I actually struggle often, but I’m trying to love others the way He did…without judgement and/or expectation. It’s a work in progess .

6. My favorite book of all time is“Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day” by Judith Viorst. I had the entire thing memorized when I was a kid .

7. The one beauty product I couldn’t live without is it’s a tie between under eye concealer and blush. I just can’t decide. I have olive toned skin, so I look like death warmed up without any blush, but I also get terrible dark circles, so I don’t think I could do without that either. Oh…and P.S. any suggestions for miracle working dark circle removing creams are much appreciated 🙂.

8. Blogging is something that makes me very happy. It’s been such a great way to express myself creatively, and my blog has become sort of like my “baby” and I enjoy putting time into it and watching it grow and change. And more than anything I’ve made so many great friends through blogging and you all encourage me daily with your sweet comments..

9. If I could star in a movie with any actor/actress I would want to work withZooey Deschanel. I have a total girl crush on her…along with every other girl in the known world. I think she’d be so much fun. Although, I might actually choose Morgan Freeman. He’s pretty much awesome.

10. One of the best feelings in the world is when Craig comes up and hugs me in the middle of a fight, and all my frustration melts away and I feel safe and loved .

Hope you guys enjoyed the extra questions!

Happy weekend!

Oh…and P.S. You should probably watch this video. It’s hillarious and just about the cutest thing ever. Kids make me happy.

ha! I feel like every week when I go to fill in the blanks I am a copy cat! You and I must be a lot a like in a lot of ways because each week I have to try and figure out something doesn’t sound exactly like your “fill in the blanks” 🙂Great minds think alike, I suppose.

I’m glad that FILL IN THE BLANK FRIDAY is back. Goat is something used here in the Philippines for Caldereta and other dishes, but I’m not aware of them. I don’t eat it, but people I know who do, just tell me that goat tastes like lamb. Still!✈Blogging is really fun and it’s done a lot of good things for me. And comments can definitely make your day!

hahahahaha that video was adorable! i love it!! haha so cute. and i love all your answers. i feel like we are soul sisters..haha as cheesy as that sounds! i am so glad we have become such great friends through blogging.. i miss you tons!! i feel like i am a terrible friend.. sometimes i wish life could just slow down so i could have more time to blog and catch up with people! i hope you have a lovely day lauren! and a great weekend 🙂 i am soooo glad it is friday!

okay, so your first answer almost made me throw up in my mouth a little bit while eating my breakfast (you know how i feel about meat) but i still love you! 😉 love your answer to number five!i, too, love morgan freeman – i have wished he was my grandpa for years… miss you.xo thanks.xo thanks.

im so glad you posted that video- ive heard so much about it but have yet to see it!

i love you #5- it’s so nice meeting and making blogger friends that feel the same in that way. esp since we can all agree that we all struggle and arent perfect. just trying to love others is something i’m a work in progess on too.

oh and i have a girl crush on zooey too. i guess a lot do, but it’s easy to see why. 🙂

I really enjoyed your fill in the blank questions this week. You are truly amazing and most brilliantly creative. Loved the giraffe pic and the video was hilarious!Thanks for always making me laugh, always making me smile, sharing your heart, and best of all for always making me proud to be your mom and proud to say that you are my daughter. 🙂

cooking in heels? are you 100% sure? 😉 Im not sure, might be every man’s dream though but I can barely think about it without wanting to scream badly 🙂Love the childhood photos, cute!Have a great weekend xoxo

I love your fill in the blanks and I say bring the 1950’s back and cook in those heels!!!! I love it when Marc gives me a hug in the middle of an argument too, everything stops and I think … why were we fighting. You are beautiful Lauren!!! Much much love! Oh and when did you go to Kenya? XO

I love your answers girl esp 3rd and 10th and im kinda sad im not participating today but im also stoked cause im hosting my very first giveaway ..you can enter the giveaway here to win a vintage pair of earrings ..i do hope you’ll drop in to participate ..cheers

I love that video! I miss the days when I would have been destroyed by something like that! Life was so simple when you were small enough to fit in a car seat. I also love the little girl in the middle who was just not amused by the whole situation!

oh man i missed it. 🙁 I can’t even come up with what I did last Friday…so bad. 🙁 Isn’t goat meat interesting? I had it once and kinda had to say YES, please more! Goat milk is good too by the way. 😉 Oh well…it’s past midnight and I’m talking about food. 😉 Typical.
